Description: Definition of the reference solar domestic hot water (SDHW) system for multifamily house (MFH), Austria Date: 30.11.2016, last revision: 12.11.2017 Authors: Download possible at: Thomas Ramschak, François Veynandt (AEE INTEC) http://task54.iea-shc.org/ Introduction This document describes the reference solar domestic hot water (SDHW) system for domestic hot water preparation in a multi-family house (MFH) in Austria. The system is modelled with TSol to calculate the fuel consumption and electric energy, as well as the substituted fuel provided by the SDHW system, which are needed to provide the required domestic hot water and space heating. Using this result the levelized costs of heat (LCOH) for the substituted fuel is calculated using Equation 1, with the reference costs for the investment of the system, installation costs, fuel and electricity costs.
